Cobra Kai Season 4 is on its way, but according to the program’s executive producers, there may be even more in store for the dojos.
In early October, Netflix announced that dojo doors would remain open for season 4, and while the Cobra Kai bosses hope to start production early this year, they are also looking at other possibilities of storytelling to expand the franchise’s universe even further. And they’re watching one of their favorite series for inspiration.
“Our hope is that we can really expand this whole thing. Karate kind universe and strengthen the fanbase so that it’s a story we can keep telling, “EP and co-showrunner Hayden Schlossberg told TVLine.” We have an endgame for Cobra Kai, but we always compare it to our other favorite shows, Break bad, [and how] they can keep the story going Better name Saul and The Camino.
‘We spend time with Kreese’s history [in Season 3], but we could have spent more time with Kreese’s backstory. We have so many things to tell in these half-hour episodes, it’s ultimately not enough. We’re just having a fun time as friends go to work in the sandbox of The Karate Kid and hope to keep it going. ”
With the recent move of the series to Netflix, an expanded universe or a collection of companions may just be the thing to keep the spirit of Miyagi-Do alive within the foreseeable future, the EP says.
“When we look at our careers, we’ve always had sequels. We fall in love with our characters, ”adds Schlossberg. ‘Every permutation of spin or deep dive comes to mind. It must all be the right thing, and it must be of the same quality Cobra Kai is. Our minds always think Karate kind, so the possibility is definitely there. ”
Meanwhile, Schlossberg, along with fellow EPs / co-fans Josh Heald and Jon Hurwitz, confirmed that the pre-production for season 4 is ‘full steam ahead’. Says Heald: “We wrote most of the episodes and the whole season was figured out.”
